nADEAu's BAD TASTE.

1t Is asserted by those who know, or
lad opportunities of knowing, more or
less about the domestic life Of Mr. and
Mrs. Lincoln, and especially about the
latters pcculiaritics, that General Adam
Badcaus recent letter concerning the
alleged insanity of Mrs Lincoln
abounds In untruths and misreprc.
scntations.
However this may be, his letter Is
not so much to be condemned for the
inaccuracies It contains rs for the want
of good taste it exhibits. General
Badcau has apparently forgotten, or
else is stolldly regardless Of the fact
that very near relatives Of the lady
whose wtaknessc4 he undertakes to de.
pict are still living, and although they
might not feel like publicly calling in
question any Of the writer's statements
yet what he says NIGH, occasion them
great annoyance, il not positive dis
tress.
We are aware that much has been
said in regard to Mrs. Lincoln, and
long before General Badeau began
writing up his "reminiscences, that was
calculated to wound the scnsiliycncss
of Mrs. Lincoln friends and relatives,
hut this was generally in the nature Of
newspaper gossip to which little gray

and can hardly fail to prove mortify.

In making up the history of the
times there are some things that may
very properly be deferred for more
appropriate season. There is no such
urgent haste, as some people seem to
think, about unveiling the domestic
privacy of their contemporaries. There
are some morbid cravings for revela.
iions of this sort that may as well go
ungratihcd. A generation or two later
will answer quite as well.

EDITOR CRITIC: Having at your In
stance ''set this tinauguration) ball in mo-
tion,n with your permission, will give Its
present status. Here is the form in which
The joint resolution to be submitted TO the
Legislatures of the several States, passed
the Senate by the requisite two-thirds vote,
and was sent to the House of Representa-
tives at the last session OF Congress being
now before the House judiciary Committee,
Hon. j. Randolph Tucker, chairman;
ARTICLE XVI.
The term Of office of the President and of
the Fiftieth Congress shall continue until the
last Tuesday of April in the year eighteen
hundred and elghty.nine, at noon. The Sena
tors whose existing term would otherwise ex
pire ON the fourth day of March in the year
eighteen hundred and eghty-ninc, or there,
after, shall continue in Office until noon of the

tion; and the last Tuesday OF April, at noon,
shall thereafter be substituted for the fourth
OF March as the commencement and termina-
tlon Of the official term Of the President, Nic1.
President Senators, and Representatives in
In Congress.
The original resolution named the GOth OF
April as The day for the Inauguration, that
being the day on which Washington was
inaugurated in 1859, but as this will some
times fall on Sunday, 1t was changed to
the last Tuesday in Arril, which in the
Centennial wear OF 1859 will he the Both,
Now II would seem that there ought not
to be the least objection on the part OF any
member of the House to the passage of this
resolutions; but such is not the case, md
there is danger that II Will fail entirely.
Antagonizing this resolution, there Is
another Joint resolution, offered in the
House and referred to the judiciary Com.
mittee, on the It'll Of December last, pro-
posing these amendments to the Constitu-
tiOn, viz;
The term of the Fiftloth Congress shall
terminate at ie meridian ON the 3ist day Of
December, 1873, and the term of the Fifty.frst
Congress shall thereunon begin.
The Congress shall assemble at least once
IN each year and such meeting shall be ON the
second Tuesday In January, unless Congr1s.
shall by law appoint different day.
Very well. If, In the wisdom OF the House
the Senate resolution should be amended
what is easier than to engraft the last Of these
two clauses upon 1t, simply changing Il to
read
That, after the last Tuesday of April isSj

hope the press Will follow this matter
up, for unless constantly urged on the at

The girls that are wanted are wise glrls
That know what 10 DO and 10 say;
That drive with smile or a soft word

Tie girls that are wanted are girls Of sense,
Whom iNshIun can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty
And dare, what Is silly, TO leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what a thing will cost;
Who use with a prudent generous hand,
But sec That nothing Is lost.
Tic girls that are wanted are girls with
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle Ia loving arms
